This truck with the Medium Duty Cummins and MD AISIN trans with Factory Rear Air Ride and factory towing puck system in the trim level you want. 3.42's up to 28-29K and over that 4.10's.
Ford still uses the Bosch CP4 injection pump that GM recently dumped because of too many warranty claims and they now use the DENSO pump. Cummins uses the tried and true CP3 pump.
Pic shows how well the rear air keeps the truck at a proper towing ride height even with full RAWR of 9,750#.
Notice what's in the background? Those are RAM Ambulances that are replacing Ford Ambulances.
You do know that most of the CP4 failures were 11-13 for both the GM’s and Fords, the current version of the CP4 from everything I read is improved and you’re not hearing about many issues anymore, I’d bet fuel contamination is behind most of the later failures. In talking to my local dealer, they haven’t had one failure of the current Gen and very few of the 14+ save for a few with actual proven fuel issues.
I don’t believe it’s as big of a problem as the gospel you’ve been trying to spread....
There was a member on here who had a CP4 failure on a 2016 Ford 6.7L with 9k miles not long ago. It was covered under warranty so it does not appear that fuel contamination was the cause.
It is not a big problem until it happens to you and then it's a huge problem especially if there's no warranty coverage. I suspect many of CP4 equipped trucks will end up being scrapped before they should be because these failures will cost more to repair than the truck is worth.
If you plan on selling the truck before the warranty ends, well it really isn't a concern. That is not my plan hence the purchase of a truck with the trusty CP3!
